According to the Washington Post, England, on brink of another exit, rallies again to keep Euro run alive. I do not follow sports, and was exceeding confused on reading this headline two days after the election.
Perhaps not quite a headline, but there's an announcement on the Didcot Railway Centre website telling us we can buy gifts with our Virgin Experience Vouchers (there was another thread for this kind of thing, but it has evaporated).
Armed police swoop on Welsh town after reports of man with knife
Imagine the response if they knew he had a spoon and fork as well!
The article itself doubles down:
Officers attended, included specially trained firearms officers as a precaution, and a 33-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of being in possession of a bladed article in public.
A bladed article....? Was it a hockey stick? A patch of grass?
I think I'd prefer to hear that they'd swooped on the man with the knife rather than on some Welsh town. What has an entire community done that they should collectively deserve to be swooped on?

As a precaution. An informant had warned them that restaurants in town provide knives for the customers, and a high percentage of homes in the town possess a "bladed article" (not to be confused with the perpendicular pronoun).
From (guess what!) "Wales Online": Benefits cheat claimed £20,000 from PIP while running marathons. I'd have thought it was quite difficult to fill in those forms while running.
Sifting through old newspaper cuttings today (it's raining) I found an undated one from the New York Times: House Approves Missiles With Strings Attached. As a professional engineer, I feel qualified to suggest that this probably wasn't a good idea.
Maybe the experts were a bit late in arriving on the scene? Hopefully, no-one was killed or injured...
Once again, we see the poor quality of local reporting. I've given up looking at our online news here, as it's so uniformly deficient as regards grammar, spelling, and syntax.
Most of them are owned by Reach, which I believe is a subsidiary of the Mirror group. They took to buying up local papers a few years ago and now have an identikit style and employ fewer local reporters, I think.

Brilliant!
Man hospitalized after shooting in Chandler.
I warned you -- Chandler is NOT the place to go shooting in!

Is a knife considered to be a firearm in Wales?

Mountain lion spotted at Tuscon hospital
I do hope it has insurance.
A hospital has enough money to employ a lion spotter!
Isn't it Tucson? Arizona? Or, was it spotted at a Tuscan hospital?
"Two men ran into Glasgow park after 'incident' in shop"
True. It was the Arizona city. Mea culpa. Good catch.
The park escaped unharmed, but the men were taken to hospital with minor injuries.

I'm sure it doesn't have to be a spotter as expert (and expensive) as Van Gogh.
